I made this card for my upline. She’s participating in a swap and wanted some ideas using A Good Egg. I borrowed her stamp set and her Big Shot and this is what I came up with. I read on Splitcoast that someone likes to use the Blooms & Baskets die to make cards with just half the basket. I’ve been wanting to try this out and I thought “Easter Basket” Duh!
The card base is a piece of So Saffron, the front of which I ran through the Big Shot using the Texturz Plate for a nice flowery effect. Then, I used the Baskets & Blooms die with Baja Breeze card stock to make the Easter Basket. Note: I trimmed the sides of the basket and re-scored them to fit the card better. I stamped the basket with A Good Egg in Whisper White Craft ink and White Embossing poweder. For added sparkle I used the 2-way glue pen and Fine Cosmo Glitter in Green, Purple, and Pink. Using sticky tape, I adhered the basket to the card front.
The eggs were stamped on Whisper White and watercolored with the Watercolor Crayons. Then I cut out the eggs and put them inside the basket using dimensionals. The ribbon on the handle is So Saffron 5/8″ grosgrain which was part of the Sale-a-bration ribbon bundle.

ADORABLE!!
Very cute! Do you mind if I borrow your idea and make one of my own? I love it.
Thank you for your comments! Feel free to make your own, they’re fun! I did make a few improvements to the card since posting. I’ll post new pictures soon. Watercoloring a little time consuming. Each card takes about 30 minutes to make–if anyone is considering doing it as a class. I’m sure you could sub out the eggs with oval punches to save time.
